Why is Wedding Ring Worn On The Ring Finger

Have you ever wonder why married couples worn wedding rings on their forth finger or ring finger? The Chinese have given a beautiful and very convincing theory as to why wedding ring should go on the fourth finger.

Fingers Representation

Thumb = Your Parents

Index = Your Siblings

Middle = You

Ring = Your Partner

Little = Your Children

As The Story Goes…

1. Place both of your hands together

2. Bend your middle fingers together and leave the other fingers touching together

3. Now, if you try to separate your little fingers that represents your Children, you can. Your children will be building their own separate lives and settle themselves someday with family of their own

You can open your Index finger because your sibling which is your brothers and/or sisters are going to leave you to have their separate life or maybe build their own family

You can also open your Thumbs which represent your parents. According to the Chinese, this is because your parents are not destined to leave with you forever.
